A squint (strabismus) is a condition where the eyes point in different directions. Squints are common and affect around one in 20 children. They usually develop before five years of age, but can appear later also.

Its signs and Symptoms:
Child's eyes may turn inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards, while the other eye looks forward. Squints may not be constant, and a minor squint isn't always obvious.

Effects:
A squint can cause blurred or double vision, but children may not realize there's a problem. If they are left untreated Lazy Eye may occur. This is when the brain starts to ignore signals coming from the eye with the squint.

Squint Surgery:

If other treatments aren't successful, surgery will probably be required. This involves moving the muscles that control the movement of the eye to improve their alignment and help the eyes work together.

Recovering From Surgery:
It can take several weeks to fully recover from corrective squint surgery.
The eye may feel painful or itchy for a short time afterwards, and you may have temporary double vision.
